Sorry for being slow on this one. I'm with Jochen and Joerg in not getting why deprecation would indicate a minor release and not be allowed in a bugfix release. Sure it sucks that a new class is immediately being deprecated, but better to get such things out there now rather than waiting.

I requested one of two remedies: a) Release as 1.3.2, but undeprecate the static utility class FileCleaner methods (they would be deprecated in 1.4). The static methods can have comments added in 1.3.2 indicating the preferred alternative. b) Release as 1.4. I also have no recollection of a release with an unresolved -1. I would strongly prefer one of the two remedies to be applied. I also agree that we desperately need this to be properly agreed and documented.

If it's called 1.4instead of 1.3.2, does that fully answer the concern?
